点评:Compared to the East Coast, California seems replete with towns high on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The views are dramatic and the climate feels more temperate. Trinidad is a very scenic town where lucky ( and probably wealthy ) homeowners can enjoy amazing views of the ocean.
Kayak Trinidad offers customers the opportunity to paddle along a relatively sheltered bay, and, weather permitting take a brief excursion along the broader ocean. The company provided full wetsuits, which was the first time we had worn such outfits. They kept us very dry, but you can’t wear very much underneath them. The company advised wearing long underwear, but we were plenty hot enough with just swimsuits.
As we paddled around the cliff the guide pointed out the subtle differences in shellfish we were observing, and gave a bit of history of the area. One of our party wound up needing to go back and our guide did a very fine job of making sure he returned to shore and rejoining the group. He might have been travelling at a furious clip to do so, but I’m the kind of person who is happy to just be on the water and take in the experience.
The company also warned against bringing cameras, which is understandable given the risk of losing them, and that briefly scared me off. However, I took my chances and brought along the phone. As a result, I was able to get some very good pictures of sea lions who were looking on. Overall, the trip was a couple of hours and worth the money.
翻译:与东海岸相比,加州似乎到处都是建在悬崖峭壁上俯瞰大海的城镇。景色壮丽,气候也更加温和。特立尼达岛风景如画,幸运的(或许是富裕的)房主可以在这里欣赏到令人惊叹的海景。
皮划艇特立尼达岛为顾客提供沿着相对隐蔽的海湾划行的机会,如果天气允许,还可以沿着更广阔的海洋进行短途旅行。公司提供了全套潜水服,这是我们第一次穿这种衣服。它们能让我们保持干爽,但里面不能穿太多。公司建议穿长内衣,但我们只穿泳衣就已经很热了。
当我们在悬崖边划行时,导游指出了我们观察到的贝类的细微差别,并介绍了一些该地区的历史。我们一行人中的一个人最终需要返回,我们的导游非常出色地完成了任务,确保他回到岸边并重新加入了团队。他这样做或许是飞驰的,但我是那种喜欢在水上享受这种体验的人。
公司还警告不要带相机,考虑到丢失的风险,这也可以理解,这让我一度有些害怕。不过,我还是冒险带上了手机。结果,我拍到了一些海狮在一旁观看的精彩照片。总的来说,这次旅行花了几个小时,物有所值。
